Wanqi Siling
Chapter 7 The Jig Is Up!
As if implying something, in the original plot, the feng shui master was indeed a half-baked one. Therefore, before entering the Zhang mansion plot, he had to complete tasks and make up for his lack of skills before he could start the Zhang mansion plot. Otherwise, there would be a counterproductive effect.
However, the more this was the case, the more Zhang Shaojie's question made the other players feel a chill run down their spines.
The others thought: How come it feels like the villain knows everything, and might have already killed him?
Zhang Shaojie looked at everyone's frightened expressions with satisfaction, the only dissatisfaction being the perpetually expressionless Mingmei sitting there.
Her exquisite and beautiful face didn't show the panic and fear he expected.
But, in fact—
Mingmei: Outwardly calm, inwardly panicking like crazy!
[Ghost Ghost! What should I do? Look at these idiot players, the villain has already spilled the beans, and they still haven't figured it out. Do you think I can sell my boxed lunches?]
Ghost Ghost: [?]
Seriously? At this time, you're still worried about selling boxed lunches?
"I'm full!"
Just as the atmosphere in the room reached a strange peak, Master Zhang suddenly shouted, like a needle instantly bursting a swollen balloon, "waking" everyone up.
"Father, if you're full, go back and rest."
Zhang Shaojie turned to look at Master Zhang. After he finished speaking, the latter nodded repeatedly and left once again, led by a servant.
This time, Lu Xiaoyao was shocked again!
"He... shouldn't he say something?"
Lu Xiaoyao opened her eyes wide in horror. Wasn't it because of the rain and the darkness that Master Zhang persuaded them to stay overnight in the original walkthrough?
Now, this old man showed his face, ate and drank the whole time, and left without saying a word after eating?!
Not only Lu Xiaoyao, but the other three players were also very surprised.
Hu Yue, who had been praised by Mingmei earlier, was also at a loss.
There was no reason why she wouldn't know what Lu Xiaoyao knew.
However, as Master Zhang left, the food on the table was immediately removed, as if everyone had eaten just like Master Zhang.
"It's getting late..."
After Master Zhang left, Zhang Shaojie also stood up, and the others followed suit.
Zhang Shaojie walked directly to Mingmei, then reached out his hand and said, "It's so late, let me take you home?"
The others: ??
Mingmei tilted her head, looking at the others, especially Lu Xiaoyao, who grabbed Mingmei's arm, her face full of refusal!
In Lu Xiaoyao's view, this villain was definitely trying to separate them players and defeat them one by one!
She thought: Could this villain be planning to drag Miss Sister out and kill her right away?
Perhaps Lu Xiaoyao's expression was too rich, in any case, whether Zhang Shaojie the villain understood it or not, Mingmei understood it.
Lu Xiaoyao was worried about her personal safety, right?
"Zhang Shaojie, you're being too polite. Why only send her back? Am I not a person?"
Although Lu Xiaoyao was timid, it seemed that her loud voice gave her courage. She grabbed Mingmei's arm and refused to let them leave.
Then, Zhang Shaojie just stood there smiling silently, just looking at her, the murderous aura in his eyes scaring Lu Xiaoyao again.
Courage only lasts for three seconds.
Silently letting go of the arm she was holding, Lu Xiaoyao showed a crying smile and waved to Mingmei: "Then... Sister, you, you take care?"
Mingmei: …
Heh, what a waste of the feeling of being touched that had just risen in her heart.
"It's getting late, I've asked the servants to arrange a room for you in the backyard, you can rest there."
Zhang Shaojie also said Master Zhang's original lines now.
Moreover, this person was really biased. It was dark, so he would send Mingmei home, but Lu Xiaoyao would rest here?
"What's going on?" Hu Yue walked to Lu Xiaoyao's side and whispered, "What kind of character card did that miss get?"
The three of them were not present when Zhang Shaojie said that Mingmei was his "true love."
"It seems she's someone Zhang Shaojie likes."
"What the heck?" This time it was Hu Yue's turn to be shocked. Was her memory that bad lately?
Why didn't she remember that there was an extra player character, let alone that this player character was related to the villain?
That shouldn't be.
Hu Yue gnawed on her fingers, frowning as she looked at Mingmei, pondering, while Mingmei was unwilling to leave from the bottom of her heart. She hadn't sold her boxed lunches yet!
If she was "invited" out by the villain, and they closed the door when they returned, this game would probably be over before dawn tomorrow.
And it would have nothing to do with her from beginning to end.
"What's wrong?"
Not giving Mingmei any chance to refuse, they had already brought an umbrella and were standing at the door, holding the umbrella and looking at Mingmei.
"I'm not full, and now I'm hungry again, so hungry that I can't walk."
Mingmei said such a reason for not wanting to leave with a straight face, which stunned the others.
Was this reasonable?
The players thought: Hey! Staying is reasonable!
Mingmei gave Zhang Shaojie a flattering smile, a smile that a poker face squeezed out as much as possible, and it even had a hint of silliness?
Mingmei: Boss, wait a moment?
Zhang Shaojie: …
Although he didn't say anything, Mingmei saw him put away the umbrella.
"Are you hungry? I have boxed lunches here."
This time, whether it was to delay Mingmei's departure or to keep Mingmei, the four people present immediately nodded when they heard Mingmei's words, and agreed in unison: "Hungry! Food!"
[Ding—Congratulations to the player for discovering the "Mysterious Merchant". Don't miss this opportunity. Please carefully select your favorite products?]
A crisp electronic prompt sounded in everyone's ears at the same time. In the next second, the people who had just been teary-eyed and moved by Mingmei were petrified...
Lu Xiaoyao: Nani 0.0?!
The others: What the heck!?
This, this, this, is not a human being?!
Not only were the four players stunned on the spot, but the barrage from the audience watching the live broadcast through Lu Xiaoyao also exploded:
[No way! Pretty Miss Sister is an NPC? Are you kidding me?!]
[I'm going! So lifelike? This NPC is something!]
[No wonder the item store in the game is gone. Damn it, feeling like there are merchant NPCs wandering around!]
Piles of barrages about Mingmei, this mysterious merchant NPC, kept rolling.
Some game players who hadn't immediately entered the game after the update heard that the game being broadcasted by the streamer Lu Xiaoyao had a big problem, and tens of millions of people poured into the live broadcast room again.
Then a conspicuous barrage suddenly reminded all the viewers—
[Speaking of which, isn't this game a five-person game? This Miss Sister has been confirmed to be an NPC, then... where did the last player go?]
[What the heck! You reminded me, it's true! Where's the feng shui master player?]
[I thought about it, I might be the player who was eliminated playing the feng shui master.]
The person on the barrage who initially said that the villain was much fiercer than before, and even said that he was flayed alive by the villain, finally discovered this!
[I am the feng shui master player in the same game as them!]
[?? Brother upstairs, please tell your story!]
